This weeks episode is the next to last time we'll be talking about Mass Effect 2 (aside from future DLC of course). Arsen couldn't make it this time so we'll give him a chance to talk about his ME2 experience in a couple weeks. Matt and I spoil the last half of this epic game and finish things off with a short discussion on some of the other things I've been playing recently. Intro and outro... more.

In anticipation for the upcoming Starcraft II beta, my roommate and I decided to buy the first one again digitally off the Blizzard Store. After figuring out strange work arounds to get the game to display correctly in Windows 7, we were once again stuck playing this 11 year old game for hours. Yesterday marked when Blizzard finally let people in to the highly anticipated sequel to what appears... more.

Anyone who listened to last week's Mass Effect 2 filled podcast knows how much one of my podcast cohorts, Arsen Nazaryan, loves scanning and gathering minerals in the game. This mundane activity in Mass Effect 2 normally makes me feel a need to put the TV tuner card in my PC to good use, but YouTube user Kabuto the Python took it as inspiration for a song. A pretty good one at that. Definitely wor... more.

It seems the $50 million Microsoft payed to Rockstar to have Grand Theft Auto 4's DLC exclusively was indeed part of a timed deal. The controversial developer announced that GTA: Episodes From Liberty City will be coming to the other two platforms the base game was available for on March 30th. The expansions will be sold in much the same way that they were on the 360, both on disc and digital down... more.

As you'll hear from our most recent podcast (where Jon, Matthew, and I vehemently show our support for the game), there's a ton of excitement over Mass Effect 2. Why is that? Because Bioware is an excellent development studio and Mass Effect was the epitome of a shooter-RPG gaming experience. Now we have the chance to do it all over again through two disks instead of one? Yeah, there's a reason we... more.

The year 2009 was a great one for gaming. Being a gaming site, we here at AmpedGaming felt the need to throw in our two cents on which games brought us the most enjoyment throughout the last year of the decade. Since the staff is scattered across the country and we are neither rich nor able to just swap games with each other and weren't able to play everything that came out, we thought we would do... more.

In 2010 an all-new Medal of Honor game will be introduced to the already popular franchise, but this time will take place in Afghanistan. The game will introduce the Tier 1 Operator "a relatively unknown entity directly under the National Command Authority who takes on missions no one else can handle." In order to create the most authentic modern war experience, the development team ... more.

For someone like me, who stinks at side-scroller games, I have to admit I was somewhat wary of playing this game. But it won me over completely. The gameplay, the artwork, the music and even the simple storyline fit together really nicely and it felt like just the right length. At $20 it’s worth every penny and if you still don’t believe me, there’s even a demo you can download. A mag... more.

Wish I'd found this lil free web game earlier in the day.... more.

One of my all time favorite games, American McGee's Alice announced a sequel a while back. Here's a teaser trailer for it, which surprisingly looks like it was done in stop motion, instead of CG.... more.
